...a scene later on in the movie when they're standing around talking in an alley. It's raining and there's water dripping from a roof behind and to your left. That scene isn't dramatic, but DAMN it sounds like you're right there with them.




I'd forgot about that scene. Thanks!

I got it for free along with 4 other movies about 3 yrs ago when I bought a Sony DVD Player.



I remember when they were doing that. I already had a DVD player (the 2nd one I'd owned I think and I'm on my 7th now!), so I didn't get those DVDs.

Thanks for the suggestion MisoSoup. That's another good one. Maybe the cave troll scene too!

The pod race scene in Episode I is a given, but make sure you play the THX intro at the beginning, it's amazing. Soft rain, like something you'd hear under a porch, soft but very enveloping, comes from the QS8s while you hear the sound of thunder from inside a glass sphere from the fronts. BAM, lightning hits the sphere, it explodes, and suddenly you're an open plain and the storm is rolling over you. Then the pieces of the glass ball come togther to create the THX logo and that THX sound fills the room. AWESOME!

Also, Toy Story 2, at the beginning Buzz is flying around the planet in the video game with his jet pack and he drops into a canyon. The camera position shifts to behind Buzz as he flys along and the sound moves to behind the listner - very cool effect.

I think one of the best DVDs I've heard in recent days has been "Die Another Day," the latest in the Bond trillogy. (Get it for the audio, not for the movie, itself) The opening sequence where Bond shoots at the camera is enough to make you jump out of your seat and is a great test of the rear speakers. The whole DVD sounds incredible, to boot. It's worth a rent for the audio aspects alone.

Coincidently, anyone else pick up the new "Matrix" DVD this week? I'm disappointed. I don't even think it's in DTS. I was hoping for so much more out of the audio from this flick, too. Anyone agree or disagree?

Got the Matrix Reloaded today. I'll throw it in tonight. I'll forgive WB for bad sound on this disc if for no other reason than they've finally abandoned those cheap-ass cardboard boxes they've used. FINALLY a proper DVD case for WB!

Great opening scene on Evolution where the meteor breaks up in the atmosphere and then again when it crashes near the car and again when the car flys through the air and lands.

Gotta' love Jurasic Park III when the plane crashes through the trees and then falls to the ground where it's mauled by Spineosaurous and then latter when Spineo and T Rex have a little tiff (the tail whip is awsome).
